Acute & Chronic Pain Management
While pain comes in many different forms and can affect everyone differently, it can generally be put into two larger category types: Acute pain can develop suddenly, generally as the result of an injury. Chronic pain is longer lasting and can be more difficult to diagnose, often the result of a disease or an injury that hasn't healed properly. All types of pain, however, can be debilitating to one's quality of life and result in a loss of independence if not treated properly.
The inability to complete daily activities can sometimes result in depression and anxiety over frustrations with constant pain. Chronic pain conditions may develop over many years and are difficult to manage. That's when you need to seek treatment options to manage your pain, particularly chronic pain.
